Come for the beaches, but stay for the unique mix of shopping, dining and live entertainment Clearwater’s revitalized downtown area has to offer. The Cleveland Street District, sits atop a 30 foot bluff overlooking the beautiful Clearwater Harbor and Marina, provides a stunning backdrop for a variety of concerts, festivals, and exhibits that delight throughout the year.

Don't miss the daily Sunsets at Pier 60 Festival, in Clearwater Beach which features street performers, arts/crafts vendors and live music, 364 days a year and starts two hours before sunset and lasts two hours after the sun goes down.

Clearwater is home to a wide variety of dining options and culinary experiences from fine dining to relaxed beachside cuisine, but is most known for its fresh selection of Gulf Coast seafood, especially the Grouper Sandwich, a local favorite. Open-air dining overlooking the water provides the perfect chance to catch the incredible Clearwater sunset while elegant candlelight dinners are the perfect counterpart to casual beachside days. Dining cruises in the Intracoastal and out in the Gulf of Mexico are a wonderful way to explore the gorgeous area while enjoying a delicious dinner.

Stretching from Tarpon Springs to St. Pete, about an hour’s drive in all, is the St. Pete/Clearwater Craft Beer Trail, a collection of more than 35 craft breweries. Along the trail, you’ll find homegrown breweries offering artisanal beers brewed on site. Each brewery has its unique charms, so be sure to sign up for a tour and a tasting to talk with the brewmasters.

Clearwater & Clearwater Beach is the perfect culinary destination if the sounds of the waves, seafood, beach life and beer is your happy place and is calling your name and if you're lucky, you may witness the legendary ‘green flash’ phenomenon, a bright green flash of light that appears just as the sun sets over the horizon!
